Readers will look behind the scenes in each medical specialty to understand what really happens when they or their loved ones interact with the healthcare system–when they see a doctor, are admitted to the hospital, come for treatment, or face restrictions and protections related to public or occupational health.

Doctors from obstetrics/gynecology, rheumatology, hematology, oncology, gastroenterology, anesthesiology, emergency medicine, psychiatry, public health, occupational medicine, internal medicine, pathology, dermatopathology, plastic surgery, hospitalists, clinical trialists, researchers, and entrepreneurs review future applications of AI relevant to their specialty.

This book is for those who seek inspiration, vision, options for investments in different medical disciplines, and a deeper understanding of change and hope through the alignment of humans and machines.

The future of healthcare isn’t man versus machine; it’s man and machine together in a symphony of healing.
